The Wire Age.

A contemporary thinks that some fu-
ture annalist may describe our period
as the wire age. In no part of the
economy of daily life are we separated
from wire. Sleeping, we repose on
wire mattresses; eating, we see foods
that have passed through sleeves, and
which are protected from the flies by
wire covers; calling, we pull wire to
ring curled wire gOngs; travelling, we
are conveyed by cable or electric rail
ways, hoisted by elevators hung on
wires and hurried over wire bridges.
We announce our coming by telegraph
or telephone wires, we talk by wire,
and we thread our way by night
through streets that are lighted by
means of electric wires. Across the
prairies of the West are stretched
thousands of miles of barbed wire
fences, against which dumb brutes pro-
test, cowboys swear and draw the
knife, and lawyers, judges and report
ers whet their intellectual blades.
Our clocks are set by wires, our watch
es run by wires, our books are stitched
by wires, our pictures hang on wires,
and our politics managed 10y wire pull
erS.

Umbrellas and Human Nature.

A Boston philanthropist and student
of human nature bought dozen cheap
umbrellas, had nickel plate inserted
in each handle, on which was his add
ress and the request that the umbrella
be returned, and on the first rainy day
went out on the street and handed one
to each umbrellaless woman that he
met. All were returned within week,
but one, and in place of that came a
note saying that it had been stolen and
that the writer would pay for it. The
next rainy day he handed the umbrel-
las to twelve unprotected men. He
never saw but one of them again, and
that was brought in by friend who
said he had stolen it at a church festi-
val.

NeaODOrt Express.

The death of Logan makes the re-
nomination of Mr.. Blaine inevitable.
-[Clipper.
And several other papers in the same
strain. We can't see it. 1t seems to
us it makes it more debatable than
inevitable. Logan was put on to make
the soldier vote secure for the Repub-
lican candidate, and even with that
strong help he failed to pull through.
To nominate Blaine without the GER
tainty of the soldier vote will be inc
vitable failure. Robert Lincoln is the
man who has strong hold upon the
popular heart, and it will not be
strange if LOgan's chances are trans
ferred to him.

ILL HEALTH.

To those who are ont of health, who
have some chronic disease which baf-
t1es the skill of local physicians. the
future is not promising one. But
yet life is not so dark us it may seem
when it is to be remembered that Il
physician who makes a speciality of di-
seases of long standing, and diseases of
a difficult or private nature, is in our
midst. We refer to DR.. Royce, who is
now at the Avenue house, st. Johns
bury. He has been in different parts
of the state for some months past and
his cures are marvellous, almost mirac-
ulOus. Yet he claims no supernatural
| power except what is given to a person
who makes disease i'm its many forms
life study, and whose highest ambition
is to conquer every disease that the
human body is heir to. This he be-
lieves can be done, providing the di-
sease is taken in season. While many
chronic troubles of years standing
have been conquered and the patient
sent forth into the world, which few
months previous had looked dark and
hopeless, well and happy man or
woman, yet delays are dangerous.
Sometimes, too often, the kind hearted
DR.. Royce is obliged to tell the patient
that there is no help for them in this
world; while thousands upon thou
sands of patients who have been pro-
nounced incurable by well meaning To-
cal physicians, have come under his
care, and when in a few months and
sometimes even in a few weeks, come
to realize that they have recovered
their broken health, their gratitude is
beyond measure. After the Doctor
has visited town once his services in
that vicinity are always in great de-
mand, and every time he returns he |
becomes more popular. The people |
who think for themselves favor a ply
stefan who studies and practices on
special diseases rather than one who
has little book knowledge in all kinds
of treatment. Do not understand by
this that we reflect on the family ply
stefan which is a noble calling in it
self. DIR. Royce has met with wonder
full success as the testimonials publish
ed In another column show and the
success is being continued at the
Avenue house, st. Jollnsbury. He has
met hundreds of patients already and
all are doing nicely under his treat
ment. If you have difficult disease
Of shorter or longer standing, no (
natter who has pronounced upon it, !
fOn't fail to consult the eminent ply :
'Iclan, DIR. +. w. Royce He will tell
Tou whether it is durable or not. A
costs you nothing. Re-
olive to have a talk with the Doctor.

The rruth-TellIng Vermont Editor.


This is an interesting contribution
to the literature of out door sports that
the Bristol (Vt.) Courier makes. 1t
tells of man who while returning
from shooting match was confronted
by great flock of English sparrows
that flew out of millet field and perch
ed upon the telegraph wires. The
sportsman fired "and the ball from the
rifle struck a wire, when it fairly
rained sparrows. He had no dog to
assist in bagging the stunned birds,
but succeeded in pilling up 2l8." The
number of sparrows which our friend
could have piled had he been favored
with the earnest cooperation of an ac-
tive dog is not mentioned. The Court
er owes it to itself, and it would be
only just to the man, to state frankly
whether that 2I8 is not a Topographic
Cal error for 2lS0.

Strong's building in Burlington, for
many yeras considered a fire trap, was
destroyed by fire shortly after mid
night Friday. Among the heavy los
ers was the 7. M. c. A. that occupied
rooms on the second and third floors.
Their loss is estimated at $4,000, in
sured for $4,000. The total loss is
put at from $4,000 to $4,000 and in
surance from $4,000 to $4,000. So
far as the building is concerned there
seems to be general rejoicing over in
Burlington that it is out of the way
and that no other buildings were lost
with it.
